Two years after the cyclone hit southeastern Africa and killed more than 700 people, UN Secretary-General António Guterres issued a statement saying, "The storm is running out of time to deal with climate change. It's a warning of something, "he said, calling on the international community to hurry.
In Mozambique, southeastern Africa, a large cyclone "Idai" landed in March, killing at least 700 people, including neighboring countries.
Two years later, Secretary-General António Guterres issued a video statement on the 13th.
In this, Secretary-General António Guterres pointed out that cyclones continued to cause damage in Mozambique. "Storms are more severe and more frequent. In Africa, the average temperature rises twice the world average. "There is also," he reiterated the recognition that global warming is accelerating climate change.
He said, "The storm is a warning that we are running out of time to deal with climate change," and called on the international community to urgently address climate change.
Secretary-General António Guterres said low-income countries such as Mozambique, which emit less greenhouse gases, are heavily affected by climate change, and the statement states that developed countries with higher emissions are affected by disaster prevention and climate in low-income countries. It seems that there is also an aim to encourage further support for measures against fluctuations.
